Heston: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Hounslow and Isleworth, close to Heston. London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
For period homes in Heston, we look for cement patching that may be trapping moisture before suggesting lime.

Approvals in England
Planning in Heston follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
Can lime render be insulated?
Yes, using wood fibre boards or insulating lime plasters. These keep the wall breathable while reducing heat loss.

Lime render in Heston: questions
Should I remove cement render from my stone house?
If it's cracked, hollow or trapping damp, often yes. If it's sound and the wall is dry, it may be left. The survey looks at both.
Is lime render more expensive?
Usually, because it's applied in coats by hand and needs more curing time.
Can lime render be applied in winter?
Only with protection and in frost-free conditions. Spring to early autumn is the usual season.
